Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will
go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Honoring Tyler Brown

Tyler Brown was born on May 27, 1978 at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.
He was killed proudly fighting for his country in Iraq on September 14, 2004. He
was the best friend, brother and son that anyone could ever hope for, and he will
be deeply missed. The Brown family would like to thank everyone for their continued
prayers, love and support.

The Tyler Brown Pi Mile

The following video was recently produced for 'GLOBAL RUNNING DAY' and features the Tyler Brown Pi Mile, a 3.14 mile running trail on the Georgia Tech campus dedicated to Tyler in April 2005.

Tyler served as SGA President, one of Tyler's major goals while in office was to implement a safe, well-lit running trail on Georgia Tech's campus. A member of the ROTC, Tyler would run early in the morning and wanted to make running on campus safe at all hours.

At the time of his death, the plans for the trail were almost complete. Many young alumni, remembering Tyler's push for the trail, came forward and asked that it be named in honor of him. Completed in December of 2004, the Tyler Brown Pi Mile is now an important part of the Georgia Tech campus.

Sarah Kate is the daughter of James and Rebecca Carpenter of Newnan and entered Woodward in the third grade.
She is a member of the National Honor Society, Odyssey of the Mind, Peer Leadership, SADD Club, Honor Council/Discipline Board,
dance team, jazz choir, Camerata, Festival Singers, the Horizons program and is the SGA president. Voted an outstanding
senior, best all-around and graduating summa cum laude, Sarah Kate will attend the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Annually, the Woodward Academy students, faculty, and staff along with alumni and
friends gather in the Gresham Chapel on Veteran's Day to honor Georgia Military
Academy and Woodward Academy alumni who are currently serving in the military, have
served, and those who have died in combat.

The LT Tyler Brown Leadership Speaker Series Endowment annually funds the event
and luncheon following. Major General Perry Smith (Ret.) was the guest speaker in
the chapel this year. The chapel ceremony is followed by the laying of the wreaths
in the recently renovated bull ring on the respective monuments.

For the 11th year, the Georgia Tech Hockey team plays a game during Veteran's Day
week for the benefit of LT Tyler Brown's Georgia Tech Scholarship at the Georgia

The incredible coincidence of Tylers headstone being prominent in the photograph
prompted Sally to remark, Thats Tylers Christmas present to us.
There have been
numerous similar coincidental happenings following Tylers death. Sally may
